   DylanThomas: Try a little research. The top 1% do indeed pay 40% of all income taxes. Look it up on the gov’s own website. Here is a chart that even you should be able to read.

   BTW, just because someone is rich doesn’t mean they stole it. So quit feeling all entitled just because you are greedy and covetous.

   What do you call it when a bunch of screwy jerks call themselves “the 99%”? Answer: A lie. But keep telling it, and before long people will believe it.

   What was the alternative? People put up their equity for loans to buy and flip houses, the housing market tanked, and the whole bubble burst. Whose fault was that? What would have happened if, when the housing market was rising and everyone was happy, the banks had refused to make those loans? The whole world would have screamed at them for “not letting the little guy make a buck so they could keep it all for themselves”. It’s always easy to blame other people for your own failings.

   People like Matt don’t seem to understand that both states created jobs by making a business-friendly environment. Obama seems to think Government can crate jobs by hiring people and spending money. And that’s all the difference in the world.

   He offered to take the lie detector test at the last minute when all other appeals failed. Why not? The fact is, the guy had 20 years to win his appeals, and couldn’t. As for the witness recants, what can you remember about what you saw 22 years ago? Is your memory of that day better or worse than your memories of last week? Bottom line is, he got his justice. All this hoopla today is about people who like to find fault with anything and everything they know nothing about.

   Not only can Ted not draw, he makes no sense in his rantings, either.

   Worked the first time. I wonder what O’s strategy would be if Herman Cain wins the GOP nomination.

   Does anyone learn grammar anymore? “Your” is a second person possessive pronoun. “You’re” is the contraction for “you are”. How I hate laziness!!!

   Yeah, about OJ. Could be the reason he didn’t get executed was because the glove didn’t come close to fitting, blood evidence appeared on a back gate AFTER the crime scene photos were taken, and because the lead detective was proven to be a guy who would do anything to convict a black man. Could also be because the sum total volume of blood evidence taken at the scene came fairly close to the amount of blood missing from the vial of blood taken from OJ soon after the crime, and also because the blood chemistry tests made on the blood evidence showed the presence of EDTA, the anti-clotting agent you see in the bottom of a vial used to collect blood. I’m not sure, but that could be the reason.

    While this article is a bit dated, it is still good reading on the Halliburton no-bid contracts.
